Triborough Bridge

The Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, better known as the Triborough Bridge, is a complex of three bridges in New York City that connects Manhattan, Queens, and The Bronx through Ward's Island and Randall's Island. The bridge was opened on 11 July 1936, having been in construction since 25 October 1929 (the day that the stock market crashed). The bridge was later renamed to honor the assassinated Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, but it remained best known as the "Triborough Bridge", with the name coming from the fact that it linked the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and The Bronx.
